Haier is it pronounced *higher* ?
Methinks a rebadge. Can't see it all that clearly.
GE or MT?
The tips and hints section at the bottom right is a blast. Different every time you open that page.

I think it's pronounced Higher, because once I saw them use a slogan "Haier and Higher" on a web page. Clever of them, plus or minus the obvious potential for marijuana jokes.
They also make a line of portable TLs, from 3.3 lbs. capacity (that's a very compact unit, holds about one pair of jeans plus a shirt) up to 13.2 lbs. These are basically your standard Asian washers with pulsator disc at the bottom of the tub. Some of the middle of the range of these (6 - 8 lb.) have what appear to be mechanical sequence timers (so you can modify the cycle without having to learn to program a computer). (Danby makes an equivalent compact auto TL with mechanical controls, and with an American-style agitator.)
A couple of years ago there were some complaints going around on THS about Haier portable TL washers being too splashy ("washes your floor while you do the laundry"
and having a couple of other QC problems, but since that time they've probably improved.
I would guess that the 22# rating on the TL you found, realistically means 16 - 18#, which is still pretty good. Generally for these machines, particularly the compact units, assume 60% to 80% of rated capacity and they'll work fine.

or, as I called them when I was a kid, a shing-shing
Several years ago, when you looked in one of the Haier agitator washers, it looked exactly like a Whirlpool without the newer agitator.
I have one of the 4 or 5 lb. machines that I thought my mom would use in her apartment, but she did not, although I used it a few times there for her. Anyway, I have it at home in the first floor bathroom which means that every room on the first floor has at least one apliance in it; so I have arrived at a new level of depravity, big deal. I hook it up to the bathroom sink faucet and am quite impressed at its washing, spinning and rinsing and spinning between wash and rinse. Instead of the long periods of swirling and tangling like the GE portables, this gives short bursts of impeller movement that are so effective that when it starts in the reverse direction, items on top in the center are immediately pulled under. John and I were talking about it and decided that if you were stuck with only a GE combo, having something like this or a twin tub or one of those suicidal spinners to give you good water extraction would make laundry a pretty manageable, albeit manual, situation.
I remember from THS that the Haier front load washers had an unfortunate way of dying after a short period of use as did some of the countertop dishwashers.

I saw the 22LBS TL at ABC Warehouse one time and it has a DA agitator, looks the exact same as a DD Whirlpool, but in a gray color. The drum is chrome and the suspension feels similar to that of a F&P.
Hey Junior!

Melee, Mee-lay, Mi-elle
Have heard all these pronunciations and then some, but the best comment I've heard so far was from a Miele sales rep; if you're unsure how to say it, just think of Aussie girls and it all becomes clear... Miele rhymes with Sheila.
Had to laugh when he told me that one, but sure enough, it's about right!

Sheila a Miele?
Not to everyone.

Wow, I have been pronouncing Miele all wrong, lol, I always pronounced it mee-lay. But, if we are talking brand pronunciations, how about Huebsch? When I was younger I always pronounced it Huus-beck. THAT was obviously wrong, lol!
I've read somewhere that it's pronounced Hibsch... never really heard it out loud though so I'm not too sure!
